R&D Communities
R&D Communities
The R&D Communities are the heart of the association. The teacher educators from all over Europe and beyond meet, exchange and co-operate. The RDCs are open to members and non-members.
The RDCs are organized around themes. In this way they create a platform for teacher educators who share the same interest. Activities within RDCs can vary from shared research, EU funded projects, preparations of shared publications (e.g. a thematic issue of the European Journal of Teacher Education), etc.
